What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The style is inspired by the locale, and features plenty of nods to Austin’s status as a live-music mecca; the rooms and suites are luxe but approachable...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Stationed in the Campus District one block from the university, the location puts campus landmarks and downtown music venues within easy reach.
The rooms
Turntables spin vinyl in every room, complemented by mid-century styling, vintage schoolroom clocks, and cork-inspired wall treatments.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated rooftop pool sits on the eleventh floor, lined with private cabanas and daybeds facing the skyline.
The gym
The fitness center looks toward the Texas Hill Country, fitted with Peloton bikes, touch-screen treadmills, and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
